“ClassRoom Calling” (CRC) ‐ It is a basic education initiative, was launched as the main intervention during Phase‐2 (Oct to Nov, 2009) of the “Integrated Development Plan”. (Work undertaken is available as a UC product Certificate, for details click http://www.yousee.in/images/UC‐PC‐RagPickers_project‐Indore‐Phase2.pdf )
Intervention on the education, livelihoods and financial inclusion fronts continued through Phase‐3 of the project (Dec to Jan 2009). Results achieved are available as UC product Certificate, which can be viewed at http://yousee.in/images/UC‐PC‐RagPickers_project‐Indore‐Phase3.pdf. Intervention on Health front is still in its planning stage.
Indian Grameen Services (IGS), a not for profit sec‐25 company, and an affiliate of the BASIX group of companies has been involved with 136 of the households from the three slums mentioned earlier. In the year 2007, with support from the Livelihood Triad Fund(LTF) provided by SDC( www.sdcindia.in), IGS initiated a project to support the Rag Pickers in Indore. Through the formation of Community Self Help Groups, the communities are empowered to negotiate

incremental rates (for bulk supply) with processors, through their collective waste supply, and more regularized supply potential. In addition, there has been intervention to set up a plastic recycling facility, while the ownership is yet to be formalized, the plant is already operational and forms an important link in the recycled material value chain. For the communities involved, it enables them to move upwards, and hence claim higher stake in the waste recycling value chain.
UC is presently working in partnership with IGS on the Integrated Development Plan for the communities in the slums. This allows us to place a field level team dedicated to the project, while also leveraging on past knowledge and experience of the IGS team with the communities.
Phase‐4(February to March‐2010) comprised of progressive development in the livelihoods, financial inclusion and education components of the Integrated Development Plan. Interventions were focused in the two slums of Anna Bhau Sathe Nagar and Rahul Gandhi Nagar.
This document gives a report on the interventions and outcomes from the programme during the month of April 2010. Interventions and outcomes are furnished under the headers of Education , Financial Inclusion , Livelihoods and Health .
How UC Works? UC's model aims to improve the scale and efficiency of financing education, health and energy & environmental services for the very poor, through a result‐based and post‐paid model of funding. What this means is that UC applies its own funds to provide services to beneficiaries. UC then documents the work and presents the results from these projects as Result Certificates. Interested investors and donors are then invited to post‐pay for results and acquire these Result Certificates. UC’s objective is to generate greater Social Returns for philanthropic investments through this model.

Education
Intervention With the baseline data indicators on education from Phase 1(August,2009) of the project i.e. based on PAHELI toolkit http://www.asercentre.org/activities/paheli.php) and working progressively in the subsequent Phases from October 2009 to April 2010, the following interventions were taken up for education initiative.
• Class Room Calling was continued for the students of Annabhau Sathe Nagar and Rahul Gandhi Nagar.
8 UC‐PC‐0**
• Identifying the downward trend in attendance in the month of March , parents of children were met and their support was sought in ensuring healthy attendance of their kids for CRC program.
• Alternative space for conducting the classes in Annabhau Sathe Nagar was achieved.
• A second laptop was provided for CRC program to facilitate both ICT tools based learning and online classes at both the slums.
• Lessons were taught to children using ICT tools and online classes schedule is now regularized.
• Teachers were introduced to some new learning tools and alternative assessment methods to track the progress of the children.
• UC team ensured skill set standardization. UC team has identified 24 skills under the headers of Reading, Writing and Math. Progress on these basic skills can be objectively evaluated. This standardization also helps us track the learning curve of the children more efficiently.

One can observe a positive trend in class strength and in attendance percentage. We have noted the down trend in attendance percentage in the month of March. Upon enquiring further, we figured out that temporary migration of few families in community resulted in this down trend. We are now sensitizing parents to pay more attention to children’s learning needs and structure their migration plans accordingly.
You can observe that attendance at Annabhau Sathe Nagar has improved significantly, where as attendance at Rahul Gandi nagar needs further improvement.
We are planning to introduce more modules of learning delivered through ICT tools, which can have significantly positive impact on children’s attention span , learning ability and this perhaps might lead to better attendance.

Supporting Livelihoods through Waste Management.
Intervention After conducting the base line survey, specific interventions were planned to increase the efficiency of the plastic waste recycling plant. Performance efficiency of the plant is mentioned in the key out comes. After monitoring the process efficiencies, UC decided to increase the capacity of the plant operations to ensure operational self sustainability.
Key Outcomes The waste recycling plant has helped recycle close to 75 tons of polythene waste during the financial year 2009‐10. This waste has been processed into pellets which are used in manufacturing of pipes used in Agricultural activity. Besides the environmental benefits arising out of this initiative, the RagPickers also benefit from getting a good price and timely payments for the rags collected and supplied to this waste recycling unit.
During the last week of March and until mid‐April , substantial amount of time was invested in setting up the new waste recycling plant with increased capacity. Due to this reason, the plant was not operational for about 20 days , because of which there was significant drop in output , but at the same time once the new set up was established we observe the increased efficiency in operations.

Plans for next phase ( May & June ,2010)
The waste recycling unit is being run as a community benefit enterprise. With the improving operating sustainability ratios, the plant should be able to produce operating surpluses from the 1st quarter of the financial year 2010‐11. A part of this surplus would start getting ploughed back for providing some of the community services being rendered to the RagPickers, bringing in greater financial sustainability for the services being delivered.
Focus would also be given to improve the waste output to input conversion ratio. This would have a direct impact on the improving the financial sustainability of the initiative, enabling greater benefits to the community. Areas where focus would be given are:
1. Redesigning the shop floor.
2. Improving the accuracy and standardization of weighing process at raw material purchase and processed output sale point.
3. Reducing moisture content in raw material purchased.
4. Improving the machinery conversion efficiency. This is expected to improve with the new machinery being installed.
5. Minimizing any material loss in input or output material
Planning would be done to expand the waste recycling to paper waste collected by the RagPickers and integrating this into the current recycling initiatives. Planning for piloting source

segregation of waste in one of the housing colonies at Indore would be initiated for introducing a more efficient waste segregation, collection and recycling process.
Health UC would also study the feasibility of adopting some of the learnings gained through its Out Patient Clinics in Chennai for application in Indore. More information on the model supported by UC in Chennai can be viewed at the following link: http://www.yousee.in/images/UC‐PC‐OutPatient_clinics.pdf . UC is also in discussions with insurance companies to introduce health insurance for members of the Rag Picking community. UC has also initiated our discussion with Urban Health Resource Centre (UHRC) team to design some long term health intervention programs especially focused on Mother and child health. The first Out patient Clinic for the community members of Annabhau Sathe Nagar Slum is being planned to be conducted in May‐2010.

Conclusion The “Integrated Development Plan” with the Rag‐picking community is one of Yousee’s long term intervention areas. From May onwards, we plan to increase focus on the education and financial inclusion fronts. On the livelihoods fronts, the focus will be on achieving the operational efficiencies in new plant operations. In education, scaling up of outreach to out‐of‐school children in numbers and graduation of skills, with increased learning experience through the use of Audio‐Visual aids. Learning of language and numerical concepts will be enhanced through stories and videos. We are working with the community to enable us to scale up, by ensuring the new school room is arranged at AnnabhauSathe Nagar. Financial inclusion, would involve increased focus on savings behavior, while also opening more bank accounts. UC is now aiming at including more number of house‐holds into this program from other slums of Indore. UC has also introduced health‐care services for this community in May‐2010 in collaboration with Urban Health Resource Center(UHRC). More about this initiative will be reported in the May‐2010 report from UC.
